Roger Goodell believes the Buffalo Bills need a new stadium in order to remain viable.

"Yes, I do," Goodell told reporters Wednesday in New York City. "We said at the time when they entered into a new lease that this is really a short-term solution. We need to find the right long-term solution that's good for the community and can help the Bills to continue to be successful in western New York."

The Bills are entering the second year of a 10-year lease with Erie County to play in Ralph Wilson Stadium, which opened in 1973. Despite $130 million in renovations this offseason, the facility lacks the amenities of most others in the NFL.

The Associated Press reported Saturday that the Bills could be sold by July and the sale approved by NFL owners as soon as the league's meetings in October.

The Bills' lease prevents them from moving until early 2020.
